Too kind. It was tricky getting the booming h-alpha data to co-operate... in the end I found less is best.

You've definetly got the left hand nebula looking further away -
it's darker with far more colours.
Wow that has got to be the most photogenic pair of nebulas out there
for astronomers to capture - only the Trifid & Eta can come close.

Agreed...the are not too many nebulae that show such contrasting colours due their relative distance. (that's not quite right...due more intervening dust ahead of the more distant object )
Not overly big or bright...hence I suspect this is the reason it does not get hammered as often as M42 or Eta Carina. I have targeted this before with my 12" F3.8...the lack of image scale however led to a very average result.
I suspect it might do well with a HaRGB OIII SII mix. Sadly the weather forecast says otherwise for now
